I’m trying to work through the piles of beads that I have that are perfectly good but for some reason haven’t been used, sold or tossed!

This necklace has a stack of them. I’ve used little antiqued copper filigree rounds between graduated beads for a simple strung necklace. The total length isn’t that long – perhaps 17″.

I hear that other bead people are like me – buying or making beads because they appeal and then hoarding them instead of using them. It’s a bad habit because you then eventually do what I did and knock over a tub of them!

On the plus side, I got to find old ‘friends’ and other goodies I’d forgotten I had.
